The Earth's Climate is Changing...so is the Business Climate

Since 2005, the earth has experienced nine of the ten hottest years on record. In 2020, the US has seen more than a 70% increase in burned forest acreage, and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are currently melting at a rate that is  six times faster than it was in the 1990's. 

Beyond the moral imperative of climate change, there is an emerging business imperative - annual disaster costs are up  more than four times since the 1990's, 22% of global carbon emissions are now subject to carbon cost, and companies with a combined $15.4 Trillion in market capitalization have set science based climate targets. 

The result is an ever-accelerating set of opportunities for low-carbon, no-carbon, and negative-carbon solutions across multiple industries.  The future will demand Acceleration of current product introduction timelines, an increased risk of Disruption for established players differentiated by legacy technology, and growing cross-vertical Collaboration to introduce and grow climate-responsive products and technologies.
